NECKWEAR.

Application led May 14, 1925. Serial No. 30,218.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, PETER SoKoLowsKr, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Girardville, in the county of Schuylkill and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Neckwear, of which the following is a specification. A

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in neckwear.

The primary object of the invention is to provide a neckwear structure which, when properly tied around the neck of a person, has the appearance of a combination of a four-in-hand tie and a bow tie.

Other objects and advantages of the invention will be apparent during the course of the following description.

In the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification and in which like numerals are employed to designate like parts throughout the same,

Figure l is an elevational View of the neckwear embodying this invention as it appears when properly tied, Y

Figure 2 is an elevational view of the neckwear during the tying of the same and illustrates the lirst step employed in tying the end portions of a neck band and the ad- Lustability of a permanent bow upon the Figure 3 is an elevational view of the neckwear with the band partially tied or knotted and with the permanent bow located. over the knotted portion of the band and while it is vbeing tied into the knot,

Figure 4 is an elevational view of the neckwear showing the last step in the tying of the neckband,

Figure 5 is a rear elevational view of a fragmentary portion of the neck band and shows the manner of slidably mounting the permanent bow thereupon, and Y Figure 6 is a top edge view of the structure shown in Fig. 5.

In the drawing, wherein for the purpose of illustration is shown a preferred embodiment of this invention, the numeral 5 designates the neck band portion of the neckwear which has loosely slidably mounted thereon the permanent bow 6. This neckband 5 may be formed in any desired manner and has the general appearance of a four-in-hand tie when untied. The permanent bow 6 is best illustrated in Figs. 5 and 6 and includes an elongated loop portion 7 permanently secured to one side of the elongated ring portion 8. V The band 5 is received within the ring portion 8 which permits the permanent bow to be slidably adjustedv thereupon. y

Figures 2, 3, and 4 show the proper method for tying the neckwear embodying this invention about the neck of a person. The band 5 has its ends 9 and 10 crossed to form the neck encircling portion l1 and the permanent bow 6 is positioned upon the end portion 9 during this operation. This end portion 9 is wound once around the end portion l() to form the loop 12 after which the permanent bow 6 is slipped or adjusted longitudinally inwardly of the end portion 9 until it overlies the looped portion l2, as best illustrated in Fig. 3.r The end portion 9 is then passed up through the neck encircling portion ll'or between the neck of the wearer and the back of the loop l2, as illustrated in Fig. 3, after which this end portion 9 is then brought down through the loop 12 to overlie the end portion 10,v as illustrated iii-Fig. 4. The end portion 9 may then be drawn downwardly to tighten the knot formed around the end portion l() and the neckwear then assumes the appearance of a combination four-in-hand and bow tie, as best illustrated in Fig. l.

It is to be understood that the form of this invention herewith shown and described is to be taken as a preferred example of the same, and that various changes in the shape, size, and arrangement of parts may be resorted to without departing from the spirit of the invention or the scope of the subjoined claims.

I-Iaving thus described the invention, I claim 1. In neckwear of the type described, a band of suitable length to be passed around the neck of a person and knotted, and a bow slidably adjustable4 on the band and secured by the knot in a position to conceal the latter.

2. In neckwear of the type described, a band of suitablelength to Lbe passed around the neck of a person a knot tied in said band, said band having loose ends depending from the knot, and a permanent bow slidably adjustable on said band and held by the knot to conceal the latter.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature.
